[ If you had paid visit before, you might notice that where you start seems fairly familiar. But since most of you haven't… the first thing you'll notice is red. Dark red all around you. The sky, the ground—everything is red. It's impossible to make out anything among the color. But if you attempt to stare at any particular space for too long, you'll discover it pulses, flows.

And then there is a laugh that you are probably very acquainted with by now, only this time it’s LOUDER, wracking inside your skull. ]

FOOLISH WORMS! THIS IS MY DOMAIN NOW. YOU SHALL ALL PERISH. TORN ASUNDER. NOTHING LEFT.

[ Well then. ]

((Join #eyesontheprize if you can for coordination and easy communication.

Also, I futzed up by not putting up a mingle header. If you show up late and want to talk to Alpha in addition to/instead of the second NPC, let me know. I doubt many people really want to talk to Alpha though... ))

[ Looks pretty slippery... ]

From:

antreegonist

*well . . . he'll try scrambling down there anyway, carefully

at least he's had plenty of practice.*

From:

shednotearsformagic

Weren't you floating earlier? [Why scrambling.]

From:

antreegonist

Sometimes powers switch off in this heart. I don't want to risk if climbing's actually an option!

From:

shednotearsformagic

[....WELL.]

That would have been good to know.

Be careful.

[Watching. Because you might need me to go get help or something.]

[ Decent progress is being made... although that darkness has a lot of WIND RESISTANCE as in trying to push Mithos back UP and out of the well. It's also full of an almost choking sense of FEAR ]

From:

antreegonist

*urgh; clinging to the slippery stone as best as he can, digging his fingers in*

Hey, I'm here to help!

From:

stigmateyes

[ DNW! FEAR INTENSIFIES and the darkness is nearly smothering.

Oh, and Alpha laughs. ]

From:

shednotearsformagic

[Oh, laughing, huh.]

Mithos, can you catch something I'm going to toss down?

From:

antreegonist

*Mithos sets mode +ignore Alpha*

Yeah--tell me when!

From:

shednotearsformagic

Now.

[Here comes a piece of bread all balled up with some sort of filling.] Eat that.

From:

antreegonist

Okay--

*i guess he will eat it hurriedly while clinging to the side of the well. hearts are so weird*

From:

shednotearsformagic

[Aren't they though.]

[Actually....]

Don't catch this. This is for the bird. Lafra! [Throwing down more bread for the bird.]

From:

stigmateyes

[ Breads falls. Hard to tell what happens to it though. ]

From:

shednotearsformagic

[I WILL HOPE]

From:

stigmateyes

[ Well darkness is still putting up a fight! no no I don't want to go through it anymore! I can't! I can't... ]

From:

antreegonist

Yes, you can! You're stronger than you think, and you have people here to help you! Please!

From:

stigmateyes

[ I tried... I did. But it's always the same... if I just stop... it won't have to hurt... ]

And with that comes a wave of misery and loss that's actually... got a bit of a charge to it. As in electric.

Alpha laughs louder. ]

You waste your time. He's too weak to stand against me.
